Kingdom.
 From the Youths Complnion.1
 The Japanese delight in attempting im- provements upon both animals and plants, says The Youths Companion, and in the latter they have produced some remarkable results, one of the most striking cases ever seen being an apple tree four inches high, covered with ripe apples, each about as large as currant. Both leaves and fruit were per feet in shape, color and vigor, and only re- duced in size.
 Near Cape Negro, in Africa, on a pla- teau abont six miles wide and 300 miles long, is found curious tree, named after it's discoverer, Dr. Welwitsch. The diam eter of the stem is about four feet, but the entire tree is only one foot high, present. ing curious appearance, especially as it possesses only two woody leaves, that have to last during it's life, as no other appear. As unfavorable circumstances tend to produce diminutive plants, the reverse, in many cases, results in actual giants. Bamboos are gigantic grasses, and attain wonderful growths Entangled together they form a solid mass, from which spears arise foot in diameter and one hun dred and twenty feet in height. The rattan grows to length of one thousand two hun
  try give but little idea of the beauty and grace of the largest of these forms. A sin gle leaf of the South American palm raphia measures one hundred feet in length and fifty feet in diameter. In Ceylon the leaves of the talipot palm are used in building houses; two of them are sufficient for hut capable of sheltering fifteen or twenty per sons.
 In South America many vines are found that are almost as large as trees. They are from the limbs, binding the forests together in almost interminable maze. In the streams of this same country are found the giants of the pond lilies, upon one leaf of which thousands of the blossoms of our common form could be placed. The leaf is buoyant enough to support several children, and they are used by the natives for various purposes. It is, however, in the isolated continens of Australia that the most gigan- tic forms of plant life are seen. These are

Hampshire. The Bill Chandler
who lobbied for Robson and Roach
is the Bill Chandler who is now
to become Senator of the United
States. The Bill Chandler whom Sem
ator Edmunds denounced as character
less and dangerous is the coming Re
publican Senator from a New England
State. Not a job was engineered in
Washington from the beginning to the
end of the period of profigacy follow
ing the war in which this same Chan
dler did not figure. He was Roach's
private agent and Robeson's most trust
ed friend, as familiar a figure in the
lobby as that of any man who ever
served in that capacity.
A party morally so callous as not to
perceive the degradation which the ele-
vation Of such man as Chandler in
wolves can not appeal successfully to
the American people in their present
temper. Character counts for more
now than it did at one time. The
mere assumption by a party of superior
morality, patriotism and intelligence
can not weigh long as against indubit-
able evidence of braZen immortality and
certain untitness. While the Chambers
are at the front of Republicanism the
supremacy of the Democracy should be
and doubtless will be as great as the
most ardent partisan of that faith could
wish.- Chicago Herald.

A DESPICABLE RINGSTER,
Character Of the Recently Elected Sena-
tor from New Hampshire.

Character Of the Recently Elected Sena-
tor from New Hampshire.
Probably no reasonable person will
deny that the people of the United States
turned the Republican party out of
power because of its corrupt affiliation
with corporate jobbers. and because
of the fact that many of its most con-
spicuous leaders were men of known
bad character. The transition from
Chase, Seward, Sumner, Stevens.
Wade, Wilson, Fenton and others to
Dorsey, Clayton, Chandler, Elkins,
Blaine and Malone was gradual but
marked. Under the first-named men
the party was not beaten. 1t was the
after who led it to disaster. With
them at its head it will be easier to
beat it the next time than it was in
1884, and that they will be at its head.
REINFORCED, perhaps. by some spoils-
men and disreputables who have not
hitherto come Dnspicuously to the front
is. from present appearances, a GER
tainty. Wherever the party has un-
disputed sway it clings to its discred-
tied and disgraced leaders The
resurrection of the notorious Bill
Chandler in New Hampshire and his
election to the United States Senate
by the Republicans show that in that
section, as in many others, the immor-
ality of the party is its most conspicu-
Gus feature.
William E. Chandler is reprotated
not by Democrats alone, but by all
honest men who can see a rascal be-
meath the guise of party. The body to
which he was elected rejected him six
years ago when he was appointed
Solictor-General, and more than one
honest man in that assembly publicly
stigmatized his nomination as the most
shocking that President ever made
The William E. Chandler who was for
years a go-between in Washington for
the rings and the corrupt officials of
Navy Department is the same William
E. Chandler now chosen for high
honor by the Republicans of New

STRANGE PHENOMENON.
The Surf of the Atlantic Heard at q Dis
tance of Seventy Miles.

The Surf of the Atlantic Heard at q Dis
tance of Seventy Miles.
There is story that Mr. Eliot Glover,
of Portland, formerly of this city, re-
lated apropos of sounds out of the still
sky. / was in Pennington, said he,
visiting my uncle. On Christmas night
/ attended the Christmas festival with
my relatives. and it was a clear starlit
night, for l remember at the close of
the Christmas tree festival they sent a
fire balloon into the air, and it went
straight up and seemed to hang over
US quite stationary. Then it took
course in another direction and
seemed to float over toward Lew
iston. The next day was Sunday,
and after breakfast I walked out
with my uncle. 1t was a very still
day, without a breeze, apparently.
from any quarter. Smoke rolled up
straight into the sky. We were walk
ing silently along when my uncle
stopped and said: What do you
hear:" l listened. at sounds like
the roar of the sea-" 1 said. 1t did
sound like 1.-THE low monotone of the
surf on the shore, the ceaseless roar of
the ocean in a storm. But" l added,
''of course it is not the sea. 1t must be
the wind" ''The wind?'' asked my
uncle: .'where do you see it? Look at
those trees. They are motionless. Look
at the smoke. Look at the grove of
pines over there, They would sing if
any trees were singing. and they are
quiet. "Sure enough it wasn't the
wind, and if not the wind what was it?
1t must be the ocean. We listened to
it for five minutes. 1t doomed and
roared sulienly. Twas convinced that
it was the sea. In the afternoon met
well-known Pennington gentleman
out walking and asked him if he had
heard any sound odd or strange. He
said that he heard the wind in the trees.
asked him il he could see any trees in
motion, and he said no. 1 told him I
thought it was the sea- He poohed at
first, but subsequently heard him tell
ing a friend that he had heard the sea
roaring. That night we looked at the
map, and found that the nearest points
at which the sea came were Boothbay
and Harpswell, and they are from sew
enty to eighty miles as the birds fly.
The next day the newspapers brought
reports of fearful storm along the
coast, with high seas and damaging
surf along the shore. have not hesi-
tated to believe that we heard the surf
at Boothbay that Sunday in Farming
ton. What current of upper air brought
it that seventy miles? The day was as
calm as the calm of the ocean at rest.
